We are also facing the same issue that AJ wrote previously.

We are trying to upgrade from bind version 9.4.3-P3 to 9.7.2-P2 using with chroot environment on a Solaris 9. It never see the following warning message when bind 9.4.3-P3 running on a our solaris 9 server, but 9.7.1-P2, 9.7.2rc1 and 9.7.2-P2 show same warning message;

[ID 873579 daemon.notice] starting BIND 9.7.2-P2 -u named -t /var/named/chroot [ID 873579 daemon.notice] built with '--exec-prefix=/opt/bind-9.7.2-P2' '--without-openssl' '--disable-ipv6'

  /opt/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /var/named/chroot &

Our chroot directory on a our server have respectively set to;
  drwxr-xr-x   3 named    named         512  /var/named/

  drwx------   5 named    named       1536 /var/named/chroot/var/named/ .

Our named user have set to;
  # grep named /etc/passwd

Just a follow up, I've added some debug statements to bin/named/unix/os.c to see the files that named is trying to set the effective gid for, and I see:
[ID 873 daemon.warning] Trying to open: '/var/run/named.pid'.
[ID 873 daemon.warning] unable to set effective gid to 0: Not owner
[ID 873 daemon.info] generating session key for dynamic DNS
[ID 873 daemon.warning] Trying to open: '/var/run/named/session.key'.

We are running bind in a chrooted environment, running named as user 'named'
on a Solaris 10 server:
/bind/sbin/named -t /chroot/domain -u named

Only when we make root's primary id to be 0, we can get rid of the warning.
We tried adding root to the group 'root', and we still get the warning.

We've set /chroot/domain/var/run ownership to: drwxrwxr-x 4 root other

And named.pid gets created correctly:
-rw-r--r--   1 named    named

It could be something simple that I am missing.. we'll well see.  Any
thoughts?   Thanks for your help,

AJ

We recently upgraded from bind version 9.7.0 to 9.7.1-P2 and we noticed
that upon start of named, we are seeing the following warning message:

 [ID 123 daemon.warning] unable to set effective gid to 0: Not owner
 [ID 123 daemon.info] generating session key for dynamic DNS
 [ID 123 daemon.warning] unable to set effective gid to 0: Not owner

On our DNS server, root user is configured as uid=0(root) gid=1(other), but
we didn't encounter these warnings in version 9.7.0.
It would be easy to work around the warnings by adding root to root's
group, but I wanted to understand why we are getting these warning when we
didn't see this on 9.7.0.

Which file or directory is named trying to set gid to 0?

thanks for your help,
AJ
